Run .exe with extra parameters as windows service with sc create

Question

I'm trying run following in my command prompt:

sc create mynewservice binpath="C:\Program Files\Arelle\arelleCmdLine.exe" --webserver localhost:10100

This won't succeed since there is the : in the optionname.

I can't seem to find the correct syntaxt

is --webserver a switch of SC? I can't see it in Win 8. – foxidrive Aug 01 '13 at 13:48 — foxidrive, Aug 01 '13 at 13:48

@JMan What do you mean? Did you check your services panel for **mynewservice**? – IgorGanapolsky Jun 28 '16 at 00:28
I don't see the arguments in services with this approach – jjxtra Dec 27 '22 at 17:49
